As a season ticket holder living abroad, I thought that I would address the issues this raises.
1. Booking flight and hotel.
Obviously you want to book early to get the best prices, BUT the game can be moved. Here is what you need to know to avoid the inconvenience of moving flights hotel.
a. Make sure TV has not moved game.
These are provisional days for TV pick announcements: 25/26 season
August and September fixtures - 9 July (announced 23 July)
October - 20 August
November - 17 September
December and January - 15 October
February - 17 December
March - 21 January
April - 4 March
Match week 35 - 25 March
Match week 36 - 1 April
Match week 37 - 8 April
Match week 38 - Will be announced post-match week 37
This is a link to see what is showing on SKY TNT
b. Make sure there is not a UEFA match the week before (Saturday games move to Sunday)
When are the 2025/26 Conference League league phase matches?
Matchday 1: 2 October 2025
Matchday 2: 23 October 2025
Matchday 3: 6 November 2025
Matchday 4: 27 November 2025
Matchday 5: 11 December 2025
Matchday 6: 18 December 2025
Which means normally these games will be moved to Sunday unless hijacked by TV.
Everton away (04/10)
Arsenal away (25/10)
Brighton home (8/11)
Man Utd home (29/11)
Man City home (13/12)
Leeds away (20/12)
Crystal Palace's six opponents for the league phase of the UEFA Conference League have now been confirmed.
Palace will play at Selhurst Park:
Please note that, although we now know the identity of our European opponents, the match calendar – the dates and kick-off times of each fixture – will be finalised over the weekend.
Link for all you need to know about Conference League dates
One more tip flying to Gatwick is by far the best bet, get a train to East Croydon (trains are from South Terminal), then change to Selhurst or Norwood Junction and follow the crowd.
At Gatwick don't waste time buying a ticket or Oyster card, just swipe your credit card entering and leaving stations.
I'll update if I can think of anything else.
